The editors didn't like
Design hasn't changed
Not a necessary upgrade
Pricey for a 5.8in smartphone
Hard to spot some of Apple's improvements
Starting price is far too high
No fast charger in-box
Scratches easily
Not much cheaper than the Xs Max
Battery life is a letdown
Very expensive (although still cheaper than XS Max)
Same design as last year
Price still high
Battery life not world-beating
Design not altered in a year
Still very expensive
Its battery life is the shortest of the three new iPhones and only incrementally better than last year's. Despite its still-rich price tag
Key extras such as increased storage
USB-C fast chargers and headphone dongles will have you spending even more

While the iPhone XS and XS Max in one sense are just another iteration on last year's iPhone X, they're also a big shift for Apple's line-up. Rather than being actual successors to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus they're closer to next-generation replacements, bu...

The iPhone X was a smartphone that re-energized the iPhone line after what seemed like a long period of stagnation. So the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have a difficult job following up a tough act. But the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max do a great job on...

Incredible OLED display, now with a bigger size option, Apple A12 Bionic processor is super-powerful, Excellent cameras, Battery life is great, Huge growth potential for on-device AI processing
Fiendishly expensive, Still no headphone jack, and now no in-box adapter, Smart HDR camera tech can be heavy-handed, Portrait mode still not perfect
Despite just preaching restraint, I can't really criticize you for wanting to just pick up the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max today rather than waiting. Apple's new flagships look and feel great; their cameras are reliably excellent; and they have the perform...
